A binding contract was formed between Beem and myself on May 2 when Beem received 50% of the agreed upon purchase price for car parts. The following day, Beem informs me he will not deliver the parts per our agreement, therefore breaching our contract. Later that day I discover Beem is insolvent, consequently that significantly limits my remedy options, however, I would seek specific performance and punitive damages. I chose specific performance because the product I was trying to purchase is unique and there are no suitable alternatives. Parts for a classic vehicle are difficult to find and are no longer manufactured. Due to the limited supply, locating the required parts from another source to complete the restoration would be extremely
When discussing the concept of contract law, there exist two bodies of legal rules that may apply to the contract. These bodies are the common law of contracts and Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code or the UCC. The common law of contracts is court made and is constantly changing, but the UCC is required in every state within the U.S.A. It is important to know which one to use and when, as well as what the differences between them are.
If a breach of contract is both material and opportunistic, the injured promisee has a claim in restitution to the profit realized by the defaulting promisor as a result of the breach.

Offer and Acceptance in the Courts In dealing with problems of offer and acceptance, the Courts have taken a strict approach, stating that there must be clear offer and acceptance in order to create a binding contract. As such, offers must be clear on their terms and capable of acceptance and can only be accepted on terms that mirror the offer, as established in the case of Gibson v ManchesterCityCouncil (1979) [1]. There are dicta in certain cases, notably in the judgments of Lord Denning MR, which have attempted to mitigate this harsh approach, in the case of Butler Machine Tools Co Ltd v Ex-Cell-o Corporation (England) Ltd (1979)[2].
Contrary to what most people might think, the solution for breach of contract is not designed to punish the guilty party, instead it is to protect and preserve the rights and reasonable expectations of the party seeking reimbursement. The purpose of the contract law is that in the event of one party not fulfilling their obligation towards the other party, the party harmed will be compensated for its losses. In most cases the standard solution for breach of contract is money reimbursement, however, in some special cases the court can assign the party to perform a specific performance or injunction. With money reimbursement the court will allow the harmed party to prove to the court the amount of money necessary to reimburse for the losses, in other words, to prove that the amount of money the harmed company is seeking will reflect the guilty company performing the contract. The innocent party has three available options to them, which include self-help remedies, judicial remedies and arbitration.
What is actually considered a valid contract? The first issue we must look at in this contract dispute is to determine if there is even a valid contract. A valid contract has three basic elements an offer, an acceptance and consideration.

Both Lord Diplock and Lord Steyn have at some point taken a negative view towards the doctrine of privity, the former described the privity rule as “an anachronistic shortcoming that has for many years been regarded as a reproach to [the] law ” and the later declaring it has having “no place in our more complex commercial world ”.
